Brian Williams/Jimmy Fallon/Cracked iPhone

Last night I witnessed Brian Williams interview Jimmy Fallon at The Paley Center for Media, formerly known as The Museum of Television & Radio. If you have no clue what the chemistry is like between these two guys, do yourself a favor and watch this.

On my way to the event, I learned why they don't call the desert boot a "run in the rain" boot (no mom, I didnt spend $95 on a pair of shoes....yes I did.) With a massive downpour in the city yesterday, I thought a brisk jog to the subway was in order which resulted in a, no doubt, hysterical display for the patrons of Borders Books as I slipped, fell backwards and slammed my iPhone face first on the ground. A scratch, at first, has now become a full grown crack, and it's pretty upsetting.

However, shortly after, I forgot all about my phone when I was thoroughly entertained, hearing from the man himself, just how Late Night with Jimmy Fallon has done in a matter of months, what took Conan years. By that I mean he's taken a lot of skeptics and made them fans. I'm the first to admit, as I did last night, that I wasn't a fan for the first few weeks, but I was sucked in by the irreverence, the musical acts, & the zany bits. Most importantly, I think what attracted me the most, is that he & his staff are finally approaching my generations youth as "oldies." Bringing back Saved By The Bell & California Dreams, for instance, was pure genius and made us all remember being kids. It's almost as if we have a spokesperson now? maybe? sure. I guess that's enough ass kissing in case any producers/writers I met last night decided to check out the page. Thanks for reading if you did!

This post has nothing to do with music, I just realized, so I'll throw these tidbits out there...

-The new Sara Bareilles song? Pretty damn good. She writes with a wit & sarcasm not often heard. It's radio pop, and I'm not afraid to say I enjoy it.

-Brian Williams is a big time music lover, in case you weren't aware - check this out.

and lastly,

-The Black Keys debuted at #3 on Billboard. That's pretty F#$%ing cool for them and to tie it all together, that was announced the same day they performed.....yep, you guessed it, on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
